In the event that you require additional assistance, please contact customer support via e-mail at support@skidweigh.com, visit www.skidweigh.com or contact us at the address or contact number below: Integrated Visual Data Technology Inc. 3439 Whilabout Terrace, Oakville, ON, Canada, L6L 0A7 Phone: 905-469-0985 Safety Always disconnect the vehicle battery while installing SkidWeigh system or any other electronic product. Make sure that unit, pressure transducer and any other associated cables are securely mounted and do not impede any of the vehicle s controls. Use care when routing the components cables. Route the cables where they will be protected. Use commonly accepted install practices for after market industrial vehicle electronic devices. The installation of the SkidWeigh systems should only be performed by an acknowledged lift truck dealer technician or end user electro and hydraulic technical installer. Here are two acceptable methods of making a wire connections: * Soldering your connections (recommended) * Crimp connectors ( with the use of the proper crimping tool) Regardless of the method you choose, ensure that the connection is mechanically sound and properly insulated. Use high quality electrical tape and shrink tubing where necessary. This product is connected directly to the vehicle s ignition switch, 12 to 55 VDC. There is no on-off switch on the unit. Electro-Magnetic Compatibility CE conformity to EC directive 89/336 (EMC) by application of harmonized standards: Interference stability EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61326-1 interference emit EN 61000-6-3, EN 61326-1 for the pressure transducer. ScanWeight Series Our policy is one of continuous improvement and the information in this document is subject to change without notice. The software version is displayed on the LCD display once the power is turned on to the system. Overview of components (Bluetooth scanner is Optional) The standard ScanWeight system consist of two main components: * ScanWeight indicator with Bluetooth module, wiring harness, mounting bracket and anti-vibration mount * Hydraulic pressure transducer with 3 wires cable * Installation & calibration manual and operator usage instruction
Operation The ScanWeight operation is based on the hydraulic pressure transducer mounted in the vehicle lifting circuit Pressure transducer installation The pressure transducer must be installed in the lifting hydraulic line between the lift control valve and lift cylinder(s). Mount a T-piece in lifting hydraulic line. Pressure transducer installation precautions Before installation of the pressure transducer the hydraulic lift circuit must be pressure free. Pressure transducer has 1/4-18 NPT male thread. Use thread seal to ensure tight fit. Selecting the mounting location for digital indicator Note: Use the mounting bracket with the anti vibration mount and fasten digital indicator on the vehicle dashboard. There are many examples of mounting locations that will depend on the vehicle model. However, additional mounting items such as a flat brackets may be needed to help secure digital indicator.
Electrical connections All SkidWeigh Plus systems operate from 12 to 55 VDC. - Orange Wire (+) Ignition switch - Brown Wire (-) Battery negative - Red Wire, connect to RED wire of the pressure transducer cable - Black Wire, connect to BLACK wire of the pressure transducer cable - White Wire, connect to WHITE wire of the pressure transducer cable Power short circuit protection All ScanWeight systems are internally short circuit protected with resettable fuse. There is no need to install external inline fuse in orange wire connected to the ignition switch. Bulgin USB Assembly Note: All data is recorded in excel file. Verification of the electrical connections done properly - Turn on vehicle power switch - Lower forks to the ground - Digital LCD display will be activated, showing software version and serial number - Digital LCD display will show current date and time Aug 28, 2010 12:20:23 If the above test is valid than the system electrical connections are done right. Note: To test load weight function press by pass (Green) switch and lift the load.

MENU Password = Use left and right arrow keys to scroll for functions to calibrate weighing scale function. LIFT EMPTY FORKS Lift empty forks just above the ground. Do not manipulate the tilt, side shifter or move vehicle. After few seconds system zero weight value will be calibrated and stored. LCD will show. LOWER FORKS Lower the empty forks to the ground. The LCD display will prompt you to input known calibration load weight. (In our example the known load weight is 2000) WEIGHT _ WEIGHT = 2000
Pick up a known load weight and lower the loaded forks to the ground. Input into the system the known load weight (Our example is 2000) and press Enter key. The LCD display will show LIFT LOAD Activate lift control valve and lift loaded forks just above the ground. Do not manipulate the tilt, side shifter or move vehicle.
